**Exclusively for Birmingham Early Years Practitioners** - Join Kym Scott for a session on: Understanding Two-Year-Olds and the Implications for Excellent Practice
As more schools and early years settings welcome two-year-olds, it's never been more important to understand what makes this age group so unique.
Two-year-olds aren't simply younger nursery children. They are at a remarkable stage of brain development, making huge leaps in their emotional growth, language acquisition and physical exploration, requiring a carefully considered approach to teaching, learning and care.
In this webinar, Kym Scott will reflect on what two-year-olds need to thrive and what this means for everyday practice. Together we'll consider why relationships matter more than ever, how play fuels development, and how quality environments and adult interactions can maximise learning.
Delegates will explore:
The unique world of two-year-olds
What they need to flourish
What this means for our pedagogy and practice
The experiences, environments, and interactions that have the greatest impact
Practical ideas to inspire reflection and continuous improvement
Designed to inspire practitioners and leaders alike, this session provides a powerful introduction to high-quality practice and offers the perfect starting point for settings wishing to develop a shared understanding before embarking on a more in-depth improvement journey.
Target audience: Early Years practitioners who work with 2-year-olds in schools, nurseries, or childminders.
